From [The Beast](http://buffalobeast.com/113/50_most_loathsome_2006.htm) A couple of choice bits include this on Ann Coulter: > [@](#): > > Coulter’s neck gained an amazing 3 vertical inches in 2006; inside sources attribute this to a strict regimen of deep-throating Satan’s scaly cock. This on Glenn beck: > [@](#): > > What makes Beck special, aside from appearing to have derived his entire geopolitical outlook from a five-minute segment about Iran on “The 700 Club,” is the folksy “golly gee” manner in which he accuses his guests of collaborating with terrorists. At least Hannity and O’Reilly have the decency to act like bellicose pricks when they’re engaging in breathtaking cheap shots. And the entire section on “You.” (For the righties in the crowd, the piece also contains entries on Nancy Pelosi, James Carville and Cindy Sheehan, so you won’t feel left out) ---

An utterly, utterly bogus compendium! No Bill Marr No Keith Olbermannnnn No lie-as-a-way-of-life and cheat-on-your-wife-for-decades Bill Clinton No lie-as-a-way-of-life-and-to-win-the-next-election Hillary Clinton No Michael Moore No New York/LA Times No Tyra-it’s-all-about-me-Banks And the most glaring, hideous and obnoxious omission of all…that loud-mouthed, unthinking, uncaring, presumptious, arrogant and totally classless windbag: Rosie (Gag! What a misnomer!) O’'Donnell! I have despised that loathsome dipshit for years but my contempt for her really went off the scale when I heard her describing her response to Kelli’s parents during a time when they were trying to come to grips with the heretofore unknown fact that their daughter was gay and that O’Donnell wanted to live with her. They (and Kelli) were trying to come up with some way that O’Donnell and Kelli could spend time together without making it obvious that they were a couple, and Kelli’s parents suggested that perhaps O’Donnell could buy a house in the neighborhood so that to outward appearances they were only friends. Her response to this middle-age couple trying to find a way to their daughter’s homosexuality while at the same time trying to keep it from becoming world-famous? “But, I want to have _sex_ with her!” In other words, “Fuck the fact that you just found out your daughter is gay, and fuck the fact that you’re troubled by it and you don’t want people to know about it, and fuck your status as the loving parents of this person sitting next to me here…I want to fuck her!..and I want to fuck her whenever I feel like it!..and your so-called solution won’t allow for that!” Now I mean really…who the fuck around here would have the utter gall, insensitivity, stupidity, and mindless selfishness to say to the troubled parents of your loved one: “But, I want to have _sex_ with her!” You don’t fucking talk that way to your lover’s parents, and you damn sure don’t do it when it’s obvious that they’re troubled by your relationship in the first place. Frankly, I’ve regarded Kelli herself with a certain amount of contempt ever since then for allowing O’Donnell to get away with talking to them like that in the first place. And for the record, I didn’t read this in some gossip rag; it came from O’Donnell herself as she was bragging about it on 20/20 or Dateline or some such a couple of years ago. ---

**SA** , the list was certified bullshit once I noticed they omitted my neighbors. If they can’t crack the top 50, the list is bunk. And I think that Rosie is _de facto_ a member of any list naming asshats. Including her is just being redundant as it seems to be a given. Even people I know that hate The Donald have mentioned how crass she is. That’s saying a lot. ---
